Ookings of d00m

Tonight is the night of pigment. I am going to go put dye in my hair, then pull out the polish and shine my boots until I can see myself in them. If there's time after dying Liz' hair, I may find my way down to Church St. If not, then tomorrow.

Well, I'm hairless now. The beard will still be there for pirates tomorrow, then it goes, too. I expect I will itch a great deal. Given how long it took, I do not think I will do this again any time soon.

I've always thought of my body hair as an unattractive property. And yet, looking at myself hairless, I wonder if I don't look better with at least some of my pelt.

So, the hair coverup? Not so successful. The hair is now a sort of greyish purple. I am at work, and wearing a hat.

Bleaching #2 is almost done. (2 minutes left)

Hopefully my hair will soon be less orange.

And also, hopefully it will not fall out.

I find myself with a weird problem - I have too much vacation time, and nothing to do with it.

I'm going to end up taking off either the week of Nov 28, or the following week (Dec 5) to use up my time before the break I'm taking at xmas. I'm not sure what I'm going to *do* with this week, other than dye my hair some unnatural shade (blue, ideally, but it'll likely depend on what kind of dye I can find when I get around to shopping for it).

Depending on his schedule, I will probably spend a day or two hanging out with corwin77, possibly taking a road trip to nowhere.

Other than that, I have no idea what to do with the week off. I don't have enough free cash to take an exciting trip to some exotic locale (i.e., anywhere I'd have to get a hotel room), and there isn't really anyone I know who could spend a week with me.

Any suggestions? What should a blue-haired monkey do for his first week of being 28 without spending much money? (comments screened - I'll unscreen most of them unless there's a reason not to)

If all else fails, I can just sit around in my underpants and play videogames and go to the gym, but that would feel rather like a waste of my blue hair. I suppose I could sit around in leather pants and eyeliner playing video games and going to the gym instead...

I also must make a decision on the length of my hair - it is getting to the big mop stage. I'm going to cut it shorter after the blue, but I need to rethink my plan of letting grow out to show off the unnatural colour better. I also still need to decide what colour I can use to cover up the blue/red/whatever, and the fate of the beard.

I want to know what you think.

I am getting bored with my hair. Spiky and red has been fun, and I may keep it going for a while, but I feel like doing something different for a little while.

One complicated option I am pondering, mostly inspired by people wondering what I'd look like with a beard - let my hair grow out for a couple months more, and grow in a beard. Then bleach it as pale as I'm willing to get it, and wear it that way for a week, give or take. Then go purple or blue for a weekend, and shave off the beard. When that is over, get it cut short again and dye black over the bright colour. The final result would be like what I have now, but black, but it'd be a long, overly complicated process to get there. The growing out of the hair is necessary, because my hair as I have it now is too short to really showcase a properly iridescent colour. I'd need to find a reason to have the funky coloured hair, and take a couple days off to enjoy it, so I'd likely wait for something weird and interesting to come up sometime between November and January, if I started now.

Because I love waffles, I have made a poll so that all may try to sway me in my indecision;
